I mean. The actuall complaint is to early and Ill agree with that part. I don't like holidays starting up more than a month before. october for holloween, november for thanksgiving, december for christmass, march for saint pats, febuary for valentines and whenever for easter if it can get its act together. Ill give that an exception as mardi gras is its own thing. Oh but if its fireworks can we keep those to just the day of and maybe before and after but we don't need a week of it. blah blah. man yells at cloud.

WalrusDragonOnABike ,

Halloween is an exception cause its the coolest one.

HubertManne ,

for me the more I like it the less I want it going early as it spoils the actual day. im sick of it by the time I should be most hyped.

febuary for valentines

That one isn’t at the end of the month tho?

HubertManne ,

yeah but they need the two weeks to clearance all the unsold candy and crap.

Honytawk ,

You can bet they don’t mind Christmas decoration is up 4 months before Christmas though.

My only problem with Halloween is that it’s only one day and then everyone stops with the skeletons and the spiders and stuff and their houses get boring again until Christmas.

ShepherdPie ,

Unless you have the giant skeleton from Home Depot and dress it for each following holiday.

There’s actually someone who lives relatively near my mother with a giant skeleton in their yard that they put a Santa hat on in the winter. And big props to them. I drive to the town where my mom lives once or twice a month, so I see it fairly regularly.

Halloween and then Thanksgiving my friend.

Most people don’t decorate their house for Thanksgiving.

Have the courage to stand by your convictions and print a return address.

Uh, Big Lots is closing all of their stores in October. Guess they won.

The news I’m reading says they are only closing some stores.

What am I supposed to do now, buy couches at normal prices???

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Their furniture prices have gone way up, at least here. Not really all that different from a regular furniture store. You can easily spend over $1000 on a sofa there.

billiam0202 ,

Ask JD Vance. I’m sure he knows where all the best deals on couches are.

ShepherdPie ,

Know what else is in October? HALLOWEEN and all the wickedness!

“God fearing” has always struck me as a ridiculous statement. It’s supposed to be a positive, like, that person respected God. No. Jesus preached of a loving God. He was delusional, apocalyptic, and a product of his time and circumstances, but he said his god loved everyone. Throw that tired shit away.

FlyingSquid OP ,

You’re thinking New Testament God.

Old Testament God is a big mean motherfucker and he will fuck you up unless you follow his very strict rules. In fact, he won’t just fuck you up, he will fuck up your entire tribe collectively because you didn’t follow the rules.

A_Union_of_Kobolds ,

Largely because he wasn’t the only God kicking around. Jehovah was originally just another local deity, but he beat up the others. You really were supposed to be afraid of the awesome power your god wielded. Ties back to the language of “you shall have no other gods before Me” - they were around, and they were real, but Jehovah was the baddest of them all.

Moses didn’t try to convince the Egyptians to worship Jehovah, he tried to make them scared of Jehovah.

TachyonTele ,

I like how the Egyptians considered the Israelite god to be an evil spiteful desert war God that lied about how his people were treated.

There’s zero evidence that they were enslaved by the Egyptians and then revolted. But thanks to one king and centuries of retoric, here we are.

ArbitraryValue ,

“God fearing” is generally used in the context of Christianity and the New Testament God. If you believe in Hell, fear makes perfect sense.

TachyonTele ,

He’ll also spontaneously change the rules at anytime and then kill your family.

“God fearing” is a train of thought for a reason.

ElJefe ,

I feel like those should be reversed? Or something…?

stevedidwhat_infosec ,

Trying to interpret grammar/meaning for what is obviously a real-world schizo post is where u made your first mistake

someguy3 ,

They think Halloween is evil and that everyone should hate Halloween.
